Kea kindly pointed out to me that the Perimeter Institute just put on the web a lecture on density matrices and the foundations of quantum mechanics. The lecturer is Christopher Fuchs, and the duration is an hour and a quarter. As a promoter of density matrix theory, I thought I would discuss it here.
The lecture [...]

However, I also made the New Year’s Resolution to be more professional in my physics and that would be a rather scary post. So [...]
